So its a 1" sensor does that make it a Sony sensor like the G7 X? Whilst 1" is larger than Super 16 I guess it could be viewed similarly in comparison to 16x9 Canon C300 / C500 or the Sony FS7, F5, F55, F65 or a 16x9 Black Magic camera etc.

I can see this being used as a "crash" camera at its price-point particularly as it has wireless control rather than GoPros or BM Pocket Cameras.

Pricing and Availability The Canon XC10 4K Digital Camcorder is scheduled to be available in June 2015 for an estimated retail price of $2,499.00 with SanDisk 64GB CFast™ 2.0 card and card reader. For more information please visit usa.canon.com/nab2015

How exactly is this a "breakthrough product"? It is basically a camcorder put into a DSLR like body. I doubt that anyone is going to be using this as a stills camera. The closest comparison are camcorders like the AX100, which can also take stills extracted from the video stream, and also has a 10X lens in front of a 1 inch sensor. I would consider the XC-10 as the 4K evolution of the G30/XA20/25 series of camcorders.

2000$ for a camera that supports 4k and has better codec than my c100 MkII...Im not saying that its better or it has better ergonomics but I feel a little disappointed right now....And 4:2:2... Im very disappointed right now as a c100 owner!
